Ilja Dragunov On Becoming NXT Champion, Mustafa Ali’s Marvel Gear For Great American Bash

During a recent interview with “Cultaholic Wrestling,” Ilja Dragunov discussed the possibility of becoming the face of the NXT brand come The Great American Bash 2023.

Dragunov will challenge Carmelo Hayes for the NXT Championship at tomorrow night’s NXT Great American Bash 2023 pay-per-view event.

The event takes place at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park in Cedar Park, Texas. Dragunov said,

“Being the face of NXT is dependent on what the people want. Do you want to have the most intense man in NXT being NXT Champion? Do you want to have the person with the biggest passion and the biggest intensity level, with the highest resilience, being the champion of the brand? Do you want the strongest possible person to be the champ of the brand? I don’t know, but as soon as I am the NXT Champion, you will definitely have that. So, you will really have the most intense brand then.”

Mustafa Ali will compete with Dominik Mysterio and Wes Lee in a Triple Threat match for the North American Championship at Sunday’s NXT Great American Bash 2023 pay-per-view event.

Speaking with “WWE Deutschland” ahead of the event, Ali noted that his gear will be inspired by the legendary Captain America. He said,

“I’m about to have the freshest drip on that show.”
